I too have been vexed.... And am trying to be civil in understanding IceBreaker aka Eduardo motivation here.  I can see the odd comment every few months being thrown in.... But if one is to believe that this is the same individual behind the Hashfast-scam... I find this constant badgering to be incorrigible.  I mean think of the irony  and hypocrisy of his actions.   I have real friends that where scammed and lost real money by this man's former company and he has the constant audacity to be here calling others scammers or even criminals.   Unbelievable.

The bitcoin blocksize debate is really heartening me when it comes to Dash's long-term prospects. That bunch of clowns will still be arguing when their network grinds to a halt. We have privacy built in, InstantX, decentralized governance, scalability improvements likely coming soon (blockchain pruning for clients/hosting on MNs, etc.)

Tell me more about scalability improvements, blockchain pruning, and hosting on MN's. Those three topics sound interesting.

Well, blockchain pruning will probably be implemented by everyone someday.  What it does, I guess, is figure out which txids have been spent and been reformed into other txids enough times that they no longer are relevant for the security of the chain.  A decision that has to be made, such as a txid that has been spent in its entirety 10 times over will never be needed to be referenced again, therefore we could get rid of it.  Or maybe it's more about the likelihood of anyone ever being able to trick the network into accepting a new fork starting from that TXID which has to do with how much computing power you can muster between blocks (the more you got, the farther back in time you can go to change things)  Basically, best case scenario is to have > 50% of the network to influence the block before the current one being worked on.

I think it's the latter that dictates when information can be trimmed from the chain.  Some say there should always be a complete chain from the genesis block, just to be sure, but others say there is no need.  I won't pretend to truly understand all this though Tongue

It sure looks like fun searching for an account to rob, guys! After all it's just 904625697166532776746648320380374280100293470930272690489102837043110636675 pages to crawl. Knock yourselves out:


Oh my gosh, they actually have printed out every possibility?  How many on a page?  LOL  Has anyone checked to see if he got 'em all right?  LOL

Wait a second!  What's to keep someone from finding an account address with a lot of coins and searching this database for the account number to get the private keys?

Ah, I see, these pages weren't really generated, so you can't search a public key to find the private key because you won't know which of the 904625697166532776746648320380374280100293470930272690489102837043110636675 pages will have it (as it would take up too much space to make a database to hold all of that) But that is a physical constraint.  I'm sure when it seems as though these account numbers will be crackable, we can move on to something else by then Cheesy

Oh but you can search the database, the question is whether you really want to:

Quote
Q: Can I search by private key?
A: Yes. @see API documentation.

Q: Should I search by private key?
A: No. I log and steal everything.

Q: That means, somewhere, on some page, my private key is listed?
A: Yes. But it will never be found. Ever. Because math. (@see http://redd.it/1rurll)
http://directory.io/faq

Problem is, why would I want to search my own private key?  What I wanted to know was if I could search a public key (preferably one with a lot of coins in it), and get their private key so I can steal their coins.

I suppose this is possible, except that, to do it, you have to make a database magnatudes larger than all the data stored on every computer in the world.  Every page has to be calculated out then, and finally you'll be able to search your string.

This may someday be possible.  I still remember 25mb hard drives.  Even the change from 25mb to 25tb isn't as radical as what we will need to do this.  Yet, it may be doable someday in the future??

That website only generates private to public keys going from... basically 1, 2, 3, .... etc, then 1a, 1b, 1c or whatever structure they chose.  To find the public key, you have to know the private key or else search every generated page, which is a crazy amount of data, that can't even begin to be stored in any database even if it used all the storage available to date Smiley

Something other then the usual.  I know that most here are hard core linux types and I'll get some flak...but I think a little shout out to the folks at microsoft for a really good job with Windows 10!  it is actually really really good plus the roll out has been exceptional. bravo.   

Just having a minor chuckle about the various responses to your post bigrcanada. It's sort of like when you go along with your kids to see a cute Disney film and everyone enjoys it and the whole family's laughing and having fun. Then the next day you're at the office telling a co-worker about it and you get this massive lecture about how the Walt Disney Corporation is this totally evil and insidiously malevolent cult that's been brain-washing us and our kids for decades and their ultimate aim is world domination and control of every piece of 'entertainment' content, and that we should all be avoiding such corporate command & control hypnotism at all costs, yada yada. You stand there hearing about all this evil and how you've potentially been manipulated thinking "Aw gee....I just thought it was really fun film...."

Microsoft - Bad
Disney - Good

i was wondering if we can create dash-lite wallet which can run python scrypt, which in turn can be installed on raspberry pi so it become dash blockchain powered internet of thing.

 Cool

Yep - you'll have to write it.... of course...
:-P


Actually I mis-read the question....


You can just compile the current DASH code and it will work just fine....

wow...

i think you misread the question now... lol

wonder if someone can implement scrypting capability into dash wallet ?

Build error

Code:
/usr/include/qt5/QtCore/qglobal.h:1008:4: error: #error "You must build your code with position independent code if Qt was built with -reduce-relocations. " "Compile your code with -fPIC or -fPIE."
 #  error "You must build your code with position independent code if Qt was built with -reduce-relocations. "\

Any work around that doesn't involve QT4?

Anyone?

I've never seen that error, but I found this from googling around:

Hope that helps

...Windows 10...

 But maybe that's just my pet Microsoft hate talking... Still using good old stable W7 for my Microsoft needs.

The purpose of an operating system is to handle files and display program information to the monitor.  That's it.  Anything else you don't want.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/08/03/windows_10_privacy_defaults/

"Microsoft basically grants itself very broad rights to collect everything you do, say and write with and on your devices in order to sell more targeted advertising or to sell your data to third parties," the privacy warriors at European Digital Rights told the FT on Monday."



lets face it all big tech corporations (Facebook, Apple, etc) have been trying to do that for years now (invasion of privacy) and Microsoft knows that few people will ever adjust their default settings.
But the more tech-savy / privacy concerned users will not use the Windows 10 Express Install methode but instead use Custum Install methode at which all these privacy sensitive options can be
turned off...  

edit : i was a bit late with clicking the link you provided in yr post but to come to a conclusion, people should be a little bit more carefull what they are installing these days (a lot of unnecessary "malware"
gets installed this way too btw, think of all kind of search bars in yr browser which can really slow things down)
